He Xiang was shocked by Lin Shanchu’s words. “What do you mean by it’s not considered a solution?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shanchu’s phone rang.
Lin Shanchu gestured with her finger to shushHe Xiang before picking up the phone.
“Didn’t you say that you have other ways? Tang Qidai has just finished promoting her new drama and is close to getting the new endorsement. Why haven’t you made any move?”
The caller was Qiao Jiaxi.
She did not even give Lin Shanchu a chance to speak and questioned her as soon as she opened her mouth.
Qiao Jiaxi had been waiting for the drama to unfold since Lin Shanchu’s exclusive interview yesterday.
Lin Shanchu had defeated Tang Qidai a few times before. In addition to Lin Shanchu’s confident look, Qiao Jiaxi thought that Lin Shanchu would overwhelm Tang Qidai again this time.
She ended up waiting for the entire night and the whole morning, only to see Tang Qidai actively riding on the popularity of the exclusive interview to garner support from the netizens.
Lin Shanchu did not show any response, as if she was as good as dead.
Qiao Jiaxi was jealous of Tang Qidai, so she couldn’t help but call Lin Shanchu to question her about this incident.
Lin Shanchu patiently waited for Qiao Jiaxi to finish vent her frustration before she sighed. “Actually, Tang Qidai is right. We’ve been old friends for many years, so there is still some nostalgia.”
When He Xiang next to her heard those eyes, her eyes widened.
Even though she had just gotten along with Lin Shanchu for a few days, she was certain that there was no nostalgia between Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai.
Otherwise, Lin Shanchu would not have smacked Tang Qidai’s face at the company on that day.
“What do you mean?” Qiao Jiaxi shrieked. “Are you planning to endure it just like this? Are you alright?
“You’re just going to let Tang Qidai ride roughshod over you like this? She’s going to trample over you to get to the top! Do you think you can swallow your pride?”
Lin Shanchu’s voice sounded a little depressed. “That’s her ability, right?” “You…” Qiao Jiaxi still refused to give up. “Come out, we’ll meet and talk about
She had the video in her hands. If the two of them met, she would definitely be able to convince Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu rejected her in a gentle voice. “Some other day. I already have an appointment today.”
Qiao Jiaxi asked, “Haven’t you seen how those netizens condemning you? And yet, you still have the mood to meet someone else?”
“Although I’m not in the mood to go out, Lu Shiyuan asked me out after all. I have to meet him, alright?” Lin Shanchu sounded helpless, as if she had no choice.
Qiao Jiaxi had was speechless and could only give up.
Lu Shiyuan only had Tang Qidai in his heart. He must have wanted to meet Lin Shanchu so that he could persuade her to give up.
Qiao Jiaxi was annoyed because she could no longer count on Lin Shanchu.
If Tang Qidai was capable of getting to the top with just a Weibo post, then if she could make use of the video in her hands to gain popularity in the industry, wouldn’t that also be considered her ability?
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu held the phone in her hands and played on it.
He Xiang asked, “President Lin, when did President Lu ask you to meet him?”
She had always been with Lin Shanchu, but she had never heard her mention it.
“He’ll call me to ask me out soon,” Lin Shanchu said in a firm tone and curled her lips.
Now that the netizens were condemning her, Lu Shiyuan naturally would not let go of this opportunity to kick her when she was down.
Lu Shiyuan would definitely take this opportunity to negotiate with her, threaten and bribe her, and lock her back into that cage in the Lu family to satisfy his superior desire to control her.
He Xiang knew how well Lu Shiyuan treated Tang Qidai.
She had a feeling that it was not a good thing for Lin Shanchu to meet Lu Shiyuan.
He Xiang pondered for a moment and said, “Sister Lin, I’m willing to step in and helD vou clean vour name if necessarv. After all. I’m the root cause of this
incident.”
“It’s not time for you to show yourself yet.” Just as Lin Shanchu’s voice fell, her phone rang.
Lu Shiyuan called her.
Lin Shanchu picked up the phone and put him on speaker.
Lu Shiyuan’s voice came from the phone.
“Come out and meet me. I’ll get Zhou Yan to pick you up.”
As if he was certain that Lin Shanchu would not reject him, he hung up the phone after saying those words.
It was very much in line with Lu Shiyuan’s personality.
He was always high and mighty.
He was so conceited that he thought that everything was under his control.
“Sister Lin, you’re amazing.” He Xiang was secretly amazed that Lin Shanchu could even guess that Lu Shiyuan wanted to meet her.
“Pack up and get ready to leave.” Lin Shanchu stood up and walked out.
He Xiang quickly took her bag and keys and followed Lin Shanchu.
As soon as she left the house, she thought of something else. “How does
President Lu know where you live?”
Lin Shanchu did not stop walking. “In Xu City, Lu Shiyuan can find out everything like the back of his hand.”
He Xiang suddenly realized. “I see.”
“By the way.” Lin Shanchu suddenly stopped. “Tell Brother Qi and ask him to find a few reporters.”
“Alright.”
The two of them walked out of the neighborhood and saw Zhou Yan. Lin Shanchu had just moved over. Nan Mu had done a good job keeping it a secret, so her address had not been leaked yet.
There were no reporters at the entrance.
Lu Shiyuan asked her to meet him at a western restaurant.
Lu Shiyuan booked the entire restaurant.
When Lin Shanchu entered the restaurant, Lu Shiyuan was already sitting at the dining table.
His brows furrowed slightly as his gaze lingered on Lin Shanchu’s dreamy blue princess cut for a moment.
Why did she have to turn her nice hair into something nondescript?
However, when he thought that Lin Shanchu was now at the end of her rope and that he was the only one who could step in and help her calm the storm, his expression softened a little.
When the time came, she would not dare to refuse him if he wanted her to follow him back to the Lu family obediently, let alone a small matter like dyeing her nondescript hair back to black.
Thinking of this, Lu Shiyuan felt relaxed.
He stood up in a good mood and wanted to pull out the chair for Lin Shanchu.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shanchu had anticipated his prediction.
She was one step ahead of him and quickly pulled the chair out with rough movements. The chair’ made an ear-piercing sound as its legs rubbed against the ground.
Lu Shiyuan was a little unhappy with Lin Shanchu’s rude actions, but she had already sat down.
Lin Shanch sat in a comfortable posture and lazily leaned back in the chair with a hint of impatience, ignoring her image. “Tell me, what is it?”
In Lu Shiyuan’s memory, Lin Shanchu had always been a gentlewoman since she was a child.
She spoke softly and behaved gracefully.
It was a world of difference between Lin Shanchu in front of him and her past self.
However, it did not matter.
There was still a long way to go. Lin Shanchu would soon become the same as before.
Lu Shiyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and turned around to sit down.
“You don’t have to pretend to be calm in front of me. I’m the only one who can help you now.” Lu Shiyuan’s eyes revealed a hint of pride.
“Help me?” Lin Shanchu laughed as if she had heard a hilarious joke.
Lu Shiyuan’s face darkened as he said generously, “Lin Shanchu, I’m giving you the last chance. As long as you’re willing to admit your mistake, I’ll help you! After the matter is settled, you will retire from the entertainment industry and then we will hold a wedding..”
